Pillow boxes

Hi there!
I had a lovely Workshop recently with about 16 people!
It was a bit manic, but great fun!
I thought you might like to see some of the make n takes made using 2 Pillow Boxes stuck together, (learnt this from Kim at SimplyFairies) and the Four Frames stamp set, and the Decorative Label Punch, finished off with some of that lovely Satin Ribbon.....

Are you bored yet?!

Here's yet another with my trusty Papermania stamp............this time with a bit of paper-piecing instead of colouring in.................with, yes, you guessed it....SU papers!...........I was actually able to line up the squared paper with the stamp to make his tank-top! (expect golfers call it something posh like sleeveless
 jumper or something?!)

Fore Alan!

Here's the little easel card I may for my beloved, with a combination of SU papers and Top Note Die, Papermania stamps, and a charm I bought ages ago......(that I will no doubt sneak back into my stash, as I hate to waste anything!)

Ruffle that Ribbon!

Hi there! My Mum is on the mend, so I have got chance to catch up on a few things...............

My upline Sarah taught me ribbon ruffling and I am now obsessed with it! Check out her fantastic new website stampingobsession.com  for details...........and don't make my mistake of cutting the ribbon first!.....I found a thread....pulled.....and it just came right out! doh!
Anyway, I am loving the Ribbon, the Pearls, the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder,.........oh lets face it I love it all!

(Sadly I made these for two lovely friends, who lost a dear Parent recently..............hope they don't mind me sharing with you..........)

I also had a lovely day with one of my dear friends, Caroline, and I even managed to get her hooked too!
She made this beautiful card below, and it's one of her first creations! Well done Caro! She's not that into cardmaking, but I'm working on her! ( poor girl!)
Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Springtime Vintage Paper, Simply Said stamp, yummy!
Then I did one with the Top Note die too..........told you I was obsessed!

Wedding

I was very honoured to be asked to make a wedding card for a friend. It meant such a lot to me to be asked, so much so, that I made 3, so that she could choose! Sadly her Husband had died, and he would have made a card for this special occasion, so I felt I was making it on his behalf.





You probably can't see the gems and pearls too well, but I have to say, they really add a superb finishing touch to any project.........I also used the confetti cardstock, which is particularly lush for weddings!
Thanks for popping by x
